Greg gave Sara's hand another squeeze and flashed her a smile. "Whenever you're ready. I better ring Griss, if we want more time off." Greg finished as he punched in the number for Grissom's cell. "Hey Griss, it's Greg…"
"Thanks for coming with me Greg," Sara sighed as she thought back over the past four days with Harold and Alexandra Stevens. They hadn't been the best but she'd managed to get though them with Greg's help.

"Anytime Sar, you should have worked that out by now," Greg threw Sara a wicked smile that disappeared as the plane hit a small spot of turbulence. "Just next time, can we please skip the torture flight?" Greg muttered though clenched teeth, his eyes screwed shut as he tried not to imagine the plane nose diving several thousand feet and smashing into the ground far, far below them.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me before we got on the plane that you were afraid of flying." Sara rolled her eyes, grimacing slightly as the pressure on her hand steadily increased.

"If I had told you, you wouldn't have let me get on the plane and you wouldn't have gone either. Anyway I'm not afraid," Greg said bluntly. "I'm terrified."

"We'll be landing in a few minutes," Sara said trying to be positive.

"Hopefully," was Greg's only reply.

Forty minutes later both had their feet on solid ground and were dragging their bags towards Greg's car.

"Are you glad to be back?" Greg asked Sara as he stowed their bags in the trunk.

"I'm not sure," Sara said honestly as she pushed away some hair that had fallen in her face. "This place is my home, but it doesn't just have my friends and career anymore. I have all these memories that I'd rather not have."

"Do you wish you'd stayed in Florida?" Greg opened the passenger door for Sara, then got in the car himself.

Sara was silent for several minutes before she answered Greg's question. "No. It would have been easier if I just left all this behind and moved somewhere else but I couldn't leave the people here. This is the first place I've truly fitted in, I manage to get on with everyone, and I have friends here. I'm not in the mood to lose anyone else I love at the moment."

Greg let this sink in, it ad taken him so long to get Sara to open up to him, even the slightest bit, it still shocked him when she willingly spoke her feelings. Greg was glad he wasn't going to lose that closeness anything soon. "Good. I don't want you to leave ever." Greg smiled at Sara then continued by saying, "Nick hogs all the covers and Warrick has a strange fascination with Peter Pan that's starting to scare me." Sara laughed at the image of the two CSI's Greg had created for her.

"You can't complain about anyone being a cover hog, Mr Sanders." Sara smiled as she spoke, "and if you decide you'd like more of the cover in the future, kindly not lever me away with your foot until I give up next time."

Greg blushed crimson while muttering "I thought you were asleep." The banter continued until Greg pulled up in the lab's parking lot with only minutes to spare before their shift began.

"Good thing the plane wasn't delayed," Sara said as the pair made their way to the meeting room.

"Yeah, not only do I have to enjoy the terror flight, I get to turn up on time to work after having a week holiday. It's been the perfect day," Greg said sarcastically but Sara could tell he didn't mean it by the glimmer in his eyes.

"Wow, is this Sara Sidle only just in time for work? I knew Greggo would be a bad influence on you but this is almost too much to deal with," a Texan drawl said as they entered the room.

"Nice to see you too Nicky," Sara laughed giving Nick a hug.

"How are you babe?" Nick asked his eyes showing the worry and concern his voice didn't.

"Better," Sara told him with a reassuring smile. Some of the worry left Nick's face.

"Where's Warrick and Cath?" Greg asked already reached for his hidden stash of coffee.

"Warrick's running late and should be here in a few Cath's in Grissom's office 'helping' with paperwork."

"So she's doing it for him," Sara said sitting down as a wave of dizziness hit her.

"Hey Sar, are you okay?" Nick asked her moving to her side only to find Greg had already made it there.

"Sara, look at me please," Greg's hands reached for Sara's which were as cold as ice. As Sara's eyes reached Greg's, he gave her a quick smile and gently squeezed her hands. "Promise me you'll book a doctors appointment tomorrow okay. No more putting it off."

"Fine." Sara said after a shaky breath.

"What's going on here?" Catherine asked as she, Grissom and Warrick entered the room, followed by Nick whom Greg and Sara hadn't even noticed had left.

"I just felt a bit dizzy," Sara explained to them still looking pale. "I've been like it since I was with Sam. It's probably just stress."

Grissom nodded at Sara's explanation. "If you're okay to work I want you to stay here and review a few cases for me."

Sara sighed wishing she had it in her to argue, wanting to be out in the field, or at least tell Grissom she was too ill to work, anything but spending the next nine hours reading all the dead ends they had come to, but she knew she wouldn't. "I'm fine, it was just a spell."

"If you're sure…"

"Grissom, I'm fine." Sara cut her boss off before he could finish.

"Well, umm…if that is the case. Nick, Warrick, you have a shoot-out, one DB confirmed at the scene, two died on the way to the hospital, one person in critical condition, have fun. Here's the address," Grissom handed Nick a slim white card before turning to Catherine. "Are you sure you don't mind Cath?"

Catherine sighed, "Of course I mind. I don't get paid enough to do my own paperwork let alone yours, but if it's left to you it'll never get done."

"Thanks Cath," Grissom turned to Greg. "We have a B and E in a convenience store, store owner was injured but no-one else. Get your kit and meet me in the car in five minutes." Grissom left the room and headed for his office followed by Catherine who was muttering about how he owed her big time.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Greg asked Sara as soon as the room had emptied.

"I'm fine Greg. You'd better go and get ready or Griss will get on at you." Sara said as she risked standing.

"I'd rather be here with you," Greg confessed.

"I'd rather be doing a de-comp than paperwork but we have no choice." Sara said heading out of the room.

"Hey, you'll be back in the field as soon as you're well enough," Greg promised. "I better go. I'll see you later." Greg threw a sympathetic smile at Sara before leaving her with a mass of files.

It was more than an hour later before anyone disturbed Sara again. Catherine smiled at the other woman as she pushed a freshly made coffee towards Sara. After a sip Sara turned to Catherine.

"I manage to get Greg away from the lab for more than a week and you still didn't manage to find his secret stash of coffee?"

"We did try," Catherine gave Sara a depreciative smile. "We should all be sacked, even Grissom couldn't find the damn stuff."

Sara laughed, "Boy Griss must be pissed about that."

"He tries to hide it but we all know he is really."

The two lapsed into silence for several minutes before Catherine asked how the cold cases were coming along.

"Grrr, what is the point?" Sara said looking at the latest case she was reading over. "We couldn't solve it when the case was fresh, how the hell do they expect us to work them out when the case of years old?"

"You should try sorting though Grissom's paperwork. It's a mess, I might still be here next week going though it all."

"Sounds like you ladies are having fun." Greg said smiling at the two from where he leant against the door frame.

"Loads." Catherine said sarcastically.

"Good, good." Greg gave another grin letting Catherine's sarcasm roll off of him.

"Don't you have some work to be doing?" She said back.

"I just wanted to see if Sara as okay." Greg said defensively. Sara smiled at the thought.

"I'm fine Greg."

Greg didn't look convinced as he turned to Catherine for help. "Can you please tell her she needs to see a doctor? She's been like this for almost two weeks but she's still refusing to go."

"Like she'll listen to me Greggo. Now you've checked up on Sara, you better get back to work or Grissom will have your guts for garters." Catherine told the youngest CSI. With a last flash of his smile he was gone. With that distraction out of the way, Catherine turned back to Sara and asked the question she had been dying to ask for weeks.

"How are things going with Greg? You seem pretty close these days."

Sara smiled, "Things are great He's my best friend." Catherine sighed in frustration, she'd have hoped by now that the two of them would have seen sense and realised how good for each other they were.

"He's worried about you, you know. Have you really been ill for nearly two weeks? You really should go and see a doctor." Catherine asked worried about her friend.

"I've already been. I just haven't told Greg." Sara admitted.

"When did…"

"I saw one when I was in Floida. I was shopping with Sam's mom when I fainted. She made me go there and then." Sara started to bite her bottom lip with nervousness.

"What's the matter then? Why didn't you tell Greg?" Catherine asked confused until she though of a reason. "Are you pregnant?"

Sara closed her eyes as she nodded.

"How far…"

"Almost two months now." Sara breathed, her voice almost a whisper.

"That would mean…" Catherine realised with horror

"Yeah."

"Oh Sara, I'm so sorry." Catherine moved forward and hugged Sara. Sara stayed quite not knowing how to respond. "You have to tell Grissom you know."

"I know. I planned on telling Greg first but I couldn't do it. I guess I should tell Griss now and get it over with." Sara sighed as she stood up.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Catherine asked.

"No, I'll be okay." Sara said knowing she did want someone with her but it wasn't Catherine and she wasn't going to tell Greg just yet.

Sara made her way to Grissom's office hoping to find him there surrounded by his bugs. With a quick knock on the door she entered the room, Grissom looked up from where he was stood next to some sort of creepy crawlie.

"Sara. Are you okay?" That was probably the most personal question Grissom had ever asked her.

"I'm fine but I need to talk to you." Sara said walking further into the office.

"What about? A case?"

"No Grissom. Not about a case. About me." Sara rolled her eyes.

"I haven't told Greg yet, but I went to see a doctor when I was in California." Sara started not knowing exactly what to say.

"And?" Grissom asked her impatiently.

"And I'm pregnant." Sara said, not looking at Grissom as she spoke.

"Oh." Sara looked up, not accustomed to seeing Grissom speechless. "Is Greg the…"

"Oh God Griss, you don't really think that it's Greg's. Have you forgotten I was…" Sara was amazed that he even though of Greg and her like that.

"No. I just know you two are close. I mean…" Grissom blushed slightly a he grasped for words to sort out the situation. "Umm, I need to sort out paper work for you. You won't be able to work in the field you know that right?" Grissom said morphing himself back into the emotionless boss she was used to.

"I did guess as much." Sara sighed hating to be told that she wouldn't be able to do the part of the job she loved the most.

"Or in the actual lab because of the chemicals." Grissom continued.

"I know. I'll be stuck with paperwork for the next 7 months. Great fun." Sara sighed again.

"I want you to go home now. Only turn up for work if you're feeling up to it. I don't want to put too much of a strain on you…" Sara tuned out Grissom as he continued his empty rambling.

"Sure," Sara mumbled as Grissom rolled to a halt, not really knowing what he had said to her and not one hundred percent caring. Sara ran into Catherine as she left the office.

"What he say?" Catherine asked curious to what had happened since she left Sara to speak to Grissom.

"Not much. Assumed that the baby was Greg's, then told me that I can't work In the lab or field until the baby is born." Sara said easing her friend curiosity.

"If you need any help or anything just let me know, I remember how I was with Lindsey and it sucked so bad been stuck here all the time." Catherine offered with a gentle smile.

"Thanks Cath. I better go, I've been told to have the rest of the night off," Sara said as she waved goodbye.

"I want everyone on the meeting room now." Grissom told his team as he passed the break room. Nick and Warrick gave each other a confused look before following their mentor out of the room. Catherine left next leaving Greg to follow her and the others to the break room where he saw not just the team, but several member of the lab there as well.

Grissom called for everyone's attention "You all know what happened to Sara a few months ago, how she was…" Grissom's phone rang loudly in the silent meeting room. "Sorry guys." Grissom moved to the side of the room and lowered his voice as the others continued to talk about Sara as it was obvious that that's who this meeting was about.

"What's up with Sara lately? She's been losing concentration in work for weeks now, and now the dizzy spells?" Nick said looking at Greg. "You said she's been like this for nearly two weeks right?"

"Yeah," Greg said with a nod.

"Do you know what's up with her?" Warrick asked, worried about his friend.

Greg answered before Grissom, who had just finished his call, had a chance. "She's pregnant."

Everyone in the room turned to look at Greg, shocked speechless from his announcement.

Catherine looked confused as she turned to Greg, "I thought she hadn't told you."

"You knew?" Warrick turned to Catherine.

"She didn't," Greg answered Catherine. "I'm working the case with Grissom. I went to find him about something, the door was open and I overheard when she told him.

"It can't be true," Nick finally said dropping to the couch as he looked up at Grissom for confirmation. "Our Sara? I don't believe you." Disbelief was clear in his voice as he spoke. Grissom knew this would be a hard knock for the team, especially Greg and Nick who were closest to Sara.

"Well it is true Nick. She can tell you herself, I want you to go and pick up Sara, that was her on the phone, she doesn't feel safe to drive and I need Greg to go over something with me." Grissom said as he checked his watch. "Shift finished in thirty minutes, you might as well go home early.

Nick gave Sara a smile as she got into his car the asked straight out, "Are you pregnant?"

Sara looked at him not knowing what to say, "Yeah, but how did…Grissom?" Sara asked him.

"He told all of us…or more like it Greg told all of us." Nick answered Sara's question.

"But how did he…?" Sara was almost speechless how could Greg have known?

"He went to find Griss and overheard you telling him." Nick explained

"Damn it, I wanted to tell him myself. I didn't know Grissom would tell everyone tonight." Sara leant her head against the car's window as she stopped speaking. "How can I facing him now?"

Nick threw Sara a strange look before saying, "If you want to wait to talk to him, phone the house and leave a message saying you're staying with me tonight. The spare rooms always there if you need it, you know that."

"Are you sure?" Sara asked Nick, thinking it would be the perfect way to buy some time.

"You know you are always welcome at mine. Just please let Greg know where you are."

"Thank you." Sara said as she reached for her phone and called Greg's number.
